Sirius' flashback countdowns (New 90s countdown)

[friday]

See the update below.

Unlike XM, Sirius does the flashback countdowns for their 80's and 90's channels in-house. Big 80's has The Big 40 Countdown with Nina Blackwood, and The Pulse has the Pulse Music Monitor with Karen Carson, which actually plays the top 15 from a year in the 90's in conjunction with the station's current top 15.

What I want to know is: where do they get the data for these charts? I'm guessing the Big 40 uses the Hot 100, since their #1's usually seem to match the Hot 100's. I know the Pulse's countdown doesn't since for last week's episode (1997), "I'll Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy should have been #1 according to Billboard, but was only #8 on the countdown. And the #15 song was "The End Is the Beginning Is the End" by Smashing Pumpkins, which never came close to the Hot 100. I suppose they might be using Hot 100 Airplay, so they don't neglect those songs that didn't have CD singles. But I would think if they did use those charts, they'd be obligated by Billboard to credit where they got them each week, which they don't. So if anyone can shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it.

I dont think anyone has difinitively stated for certain........but the popular opinion is that they are using "CashBox" for their 'retro' countdowns. Not Billboard.

[friday]

Well, whaddya know? It looks like they do use Cashbox for their retro countdowns. Cashbox has full archives for all their top 100 charts; this week's episode was from 1982, and it matches up perfectly with the July 24, 1982 edition of Cashbox.

Well, almost. It looks like Sirius is guilty of doing some replacement. This week's #32 should have been "Your Imagination" by Hall and Oates, but instead, they played "Heat of the Moment" by Asia, which fell off from #38 to #46. And it seems like this happens once or twice a week. From the 1986 episode a couple weeks ago, they replaced "Mountains" by Prince at #19 with "I Wanna Be a Cowboy" by Boys Don't Cry. (I think another song got swapped out earlier on, but I don't remember.) And last week, "One for the Mockingbird" by Cutting Crew got replaced by Living In a Box's self-titled song. I wonder if it's because they don't have the rights to play those songs, or they can't find them, or what. Not that I really care that much, but it's just curious. Though, I'd rather they'd just bump each song up a spot and insert the "trespassers," for want of a better term, at the bottom of the countdown, but it's not like anyone's really gonna notice the difference.

The 90's countdown appears to sync up as well. Of course, since Cashbox went under in 1996, it still leaves open what they use for '97, '98, and '99. And seeing some of the songs at #16-40 really makes me wish they'd get on with it and make that one a full fledged top 40 show.

[friday]

Starting this week, I'll try and keep track of the 80's and 90's countdowns (hell, maybe the 70's ones too, if I ever catch them, or at least whatever year they're doing). I'll also post whatever replacements they do, as well.

This week, they did 1981 and 1996.

[WotUNeed]

Have to say, playing "In Your Eyes" instead of "Press" is a real bum substitution. Don't get me wrong, I think Peter Gabriel is awesome, but that particular song I could hear several times a week on terrestrial radio if I so desire; good luck finding anywhere that still plays "Press."

[friday]

And a weird note about this week's 1986 episode: For some reason, they decided to play a Spanish version of "Yankee Rose".

And since it was brought up in the Rick Dees thread, yes, Nina pronounced "Double" correctly.

[friday]

This week they did 1984 and 1999. Thank goodness for the Dog Star Radio website, since I missed the '84 countdown and most of the '99 countdown.

03 03 Chicago - Hard to Say I'm Sorry
01 02 Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra
02 01 John Cougar - Jack and Diane

OK, this one requires a bit of an explanation. "Make Believe" by Toto at #20 and "Voyeur" by Kim Carnes at #27 were skipped. Rather than being substituted, it appears everything from Cocker & Warnes up was moved up accordingly. Before that, five songs were skipped and the first three that don't have asterisks were moved up.

Also, Nina Blackwood noted that "Jack and Diane" was John (Cougar) Mellencamp's first #1. While that's technically true, she may want to look at the transcript of the last 1982 episode when "Hurts So Good" was Cougar's first #1.

Did you know that, in 1994, Tiger Woods won his first Masters at age 18? Karen Carson did; too bad Tiger probably doesn't, since he didn't.

Well, as it seems to always be the case, I've never heard the songs that got skipped, so I'll take your word for it. I just wish I actually got to hear the episode this week. Anytime I miss "Running Up That Hill" sucks, as far as I'm concerned. Besides, in my opinion, 1985 > any other 80's year, musically.

[friday]

Well, with the XM merger having finally taken effect, I guess there's no more need for this thread, since it seems The Big 40 and the Pulse Music Monitor have been replaced by Rick Dees and AT40 reruns.

At least I finally figured out where Sirius got their post-1996 countdowns, and I can't believe it didn't strike me earlier: it's the ARC Weekly Top 40.

[friday]

SXM is no longer airing American Top 40 reruns on 80s on 8 (though they do continue on 70s on 7, for now), evidently letting whatever contract they had to air it lapse in what I assume in a cost cutting move. While I'm disappointed about this, since I really enjoyed hearing classic Casey Kasem, to fill its shoes, they decided to bring back the Big 40 Countdown -- with some changes. All the VJs host the show, rather than only Nina Blackwood (Martha Quinn only appears in her usual hourly trivia question, though), and they appear to be using Billboard once again, rather than Cashbox. They still switch out songs that either are too obscure or they don't have, but hopefully this won't be as frequent as it was during the first run. Now I just hope they find a countdown for 90s on 9 soon. In the meantime, I'll continue posting the countdowns just as I did last year.

This week they did 1987.

[tobedawg]

I'm glad the show is back!!!

Listened this weekend and it appeared that they were using the CASHBOX Chart this week for October 19, 1985..

They only made 2 substitutions: That awful Hall & Oates "The Way you Do the Things You Do" was replaced by Simple Minds "Alive & Kicking" and Kate Bush's "Running up that Hill" replaced The Power Station's song that was #36..

Guess they're re-airing some old shows, then, 'cause that's the same thing they did last year, according to the 20 October post in this thread.

[tobedawg]

At the End Nina said they were going to count down 1980 Next Week.. Looks like they did that one last year as well..

Seems old shows with "New Voice tracks" perhaps?

[friday]

Yeah, very odd that they would replay the same countdown from last year, and doing it next week as well, it seems. It appears last week's 1987 show was also done a couple years ago. I guess it was a good thing they replayed it since I missed it last year. Unfortunately, I did not miss the 1980 show, and so I don't look to hearing those (mostly) crappy songs.

[friday]

This week it was indeed 1980. However, they used Billboard rather than repeating last year's Cashbox show.

*** "Walk Away" by Donna Summer was at #36 and "I'm Almost Ready" by Pure Prairie League was at #34. Everything behind those songs were moved up.

[friday]

This week it was 1989. I guess they're trying to pick up where they left off last year, but would it kill them to mix it up a little? (Next week will be 1983, like last year. I'll hazard a prediction that the week after that will be 1981.) If they just waited a couple weeks, we could've gotten great songs like "Rhythm Nation," "Another Day in Paradise" and "Pump Up the Jam" instead of mostly the same songs from last year.
